I seem to be having a duplexing issue on my Laptops PCMCIA card. It refuses to talk to anything 100Mb, but it works fine in Windoze and with 10Mb hubs/cable modems. Does anyone know where I can change the options for this card?
Well, the answer I always received was that "autonegotiation works on Linux, just use it". That directly from Alan Cox and I believe David Becker as well. Bottom line is I never got a straight answer on whether hard coding the nic is even possible. I think we ended up hashing on about gigabit Ethernet instead of the autonegotiation issue after that. What happens when you try to connect to a 100Mbit FDX link? If it was a duplexing issue /proc/net/dev should probably show a significant number of errors. -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions
